Best short joke of 2005

For his birthday, little Patrick asked for a 10-speed bicycle.

His father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $280,000 & your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it."

The next day the father saw little Patrick heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, "Son, where are you going?"

Little Patrick told him, "I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling Mom you were pulling out".

"Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too".

"And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a $280,000 mortgage & no bike!"
